7-Layer Tostadas

  • Tostada Shells or crisped tortillas
  • 1 can Refried Beans, warmed
  • Sour Cream
  • Favorite Taco Seasoning
  • Guacamole
  • Lettuce
  • Tomatoes, cubed
  • Grated cheese
  • Sliced Olives

To crisp your own tortillas,  preheat oven to 450 degrees. Preheat baking sheet as well by placing in the oven for about 10 minutes. Drizzle a tiny amount of Olive oil onto baking sheet, then spread around evenly with a paper towel and place tortillas on baking sheet. Let crisp watching them closely. It will take less than 5 minutes to crisp.
While tortillas are crisping, warm the refried beans in the microwave. Then mix a few tablespoons of your favorite taco seasoning into sour cream.

Putting it together:
On a plate spread a thin layer of beans onto tostada shell.  Then a thin layer of guacamole (not pictured, someone put together a faulty shopping list).  Following the guacamole, a thin layer of sour cream mixture.  On top of that some lettuce, tomatoes, olives and a pinch of cheese.
Bon Appetit!
